But how do I turn it off? Or is it off? But it says on…

Not gonna lie… Apple should fire every single ui/ux person they have.

When in doubt, tap the same thing. That usually turns things off

There is one place that works… every other place it leads to a confusing set of choices.

Some of the worst UX experiences of my life

I love when the ‘Driving’ option randomly switches off while driving and messages start coming through at 70mph on the motorway, like can you not 🥲 it happens literally every time I use it, but at different points so you can never second guess how long it’ll work for.

Zero customizable and clunky. I honestly don't understand what people like about Apple products.

I can’t seem to find a way to get rid of all that bollocks and just choose silent mode when I want it. My phone is constantly in some sort of do not disturb mode. I can’t remember the last time I heard it actually ring.

I think you have to select one of the other focus modes, "personal" or "work", etc.

megapotat.bsky.social•20 days ago

actually it turns out you can just tap the mode itself and that turns it off/on (the submenu thing that says "turn off for an hour" etc. has to be closed though)

Those… turn on a different version of do not disturb but do not turn it off.

I rebooted.

So you hit the dots when it was on, which switched the color to look like it’s off when the menu opens.

If you hit anywhere outside of the three dots, it toggles.

You can also use do not disturb quickly by hitting the moon icon before you even get to this menu.

video with assistive touch to vaguely show where I’m tapping

Video demonstrating what I’m talking about in the same order as described.

Omg I thought it was just me. I hate how they have this set up

chetsucks.com•20 days ago

To fix it… I did what I always do. Reboot. This is it off

I like how the "find on page" in iOS safari is inside the "Share" button, but it used to be inside the "bookmarks" button, which used to be inside the "reader" button, but now "bookmarks" button is separate, but if you want to bookmark a page, it's still in the "Share" button

Apple's UI design has been incredibly frustrating since switching from Android. Folks who swear by it must not know better.

gothpocket.bsky.social•19 days ago

I made the switch a couple years ago and miss typing on android. Selecting something to edit was so simple & intuitive.

If you press the dots again, then press on the center of the "Do not disturb" instead of the dots it should turn it off again. No idea why you can't turn it off with that thing open. Bugs me too.

I used to get irritated when people would recommend CLI programs, especially those with no GUI options.

... but then I load up a random app, Apple or otherwise, and I realize that I would rather have no ui at all, and a shit ux, if it means actually doing the thing I want.

my mom came up and asked me to help remove something from her cart on some online store on her ipad a few years ago. we searched and searched and neither of us could find the button. just as we were starting to get tilted, my iphone user uncle showed up. (cont.)

atleastitsadam.bsky.social•20 days ago

and when we told him our problem, he just laughed and instantly swiped left on the item to remove it. there was absolutely NO INDICATION that it would work. i'm definitely still not salty about it to this very day 😅
